HaoaRaR Eidsvag sweater LADIES
The runic letters in the pattern can be found on the Eidsvåg stone. The Eidsvåg stone is a ten feet tall bauta discovered on Vollane in Eidsvåg, just north of the city of Bergen in Norway, in 1901 during av clearing of the fields. Archaeologists were called in and excavated the large runestone that marked a fire pit from the Early Iron Age (150 - 500 AD) surrounded by a circle of pebbles. The runes say HaoaRaR, which may mean “the moving one” and can refer to that the person buried here was a shaman, and thus could move between worlds; physical and spiritual, past, present and future. Those who claimed such abilities had leading roles in the community, and the area on Vollane could have been a political and religious center in the local community. The Eidsvåg stone can be seen at the historical museum at the University of Bergen.
